[QUOTE=whatthe;36936871]Nothing in this thread, or any other philosophical discussions ever blow my mind anymore, all I can think about is having some tangible proof of what our consciousness is so we can properly understand it. I feel all these types of discussions are just endless cycles that me and my other ~deep~ friends talk about all the time. Please [B]somebody[/B] blow my mind! Has anyone else felt a disassociation (reality/self/etc) because of opening too many doors and venturing down the rabbit hole too far? [B]Edit:[/B] If you learn enough about physics you will see that in a certain way everything was created out of chaos, I think...[/QUOTE] sounds like you need to take a heavy psychedelic trip into your own mind. no matter how hard i try sometimes i just can't appreciate things with such praise that comes naturally with psychedelics. they taught me to at least try, though. often when i'm tripping it doesn't even take threads like this to blow my mind, the sheer amount of thoughts and information my OWN mind comes up with is usually enough to blow me away. also, yes, i've felt that dissociation. i feel that the dissociation stems from my ego. my whole life i was living through they eyes of my ego, and once i decided to start detaching myself from it and understanding that my ego doesn't have to control my life i feel a certain type of dissociation was born. this is probably because everyone i see; my family friends and strangers are so controlled by their egos that it creates this sense of being alone. as if everywhere i look there are just people giving way to their bodily needs and falling into a schedule that will allow them to be happy until they die. i learned not to be happy with this and branch further from it, just like a lot of you in this thread have. that alone detaches you from your body in a way that can't be explained without experiencing it. i feel outside of myself, but that's because i am. i am simply the mind in the body that the universe decided needed a mind.
[quote]Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming's dead, and no-one does it anymore. It's not dead, it's just that it's been forgotten. Removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so no-one knows it exists. And the dreamer's banished to obscurity. I'm trying to change all that and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced. Ever. So whatever you do don't be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.[/quote] i fucking love waking life.

[QUOTE=Gurant;36303809]When I tried acid for the first time my mind was completely blown. I have been talking to the gods in my brain, the ones pulling all the strings, and actually made them change some of my bad habits. And I think it cured my depression. Sounds like mumbo jumbo, and it probably is! But I'm so convinced that I actually was there, mentally, and I could almost feel how my brain reconnected and restructured itself. And after that I am certain that there is no other god than the ones you have inside yourself. I really understand how some people can be religious, because it really felt godlike! I'm probably not making a lot of sense, but yeah[/QUOTE] That happened to me once but a few trips later, I was sent to hell and saw the opposite side of the spectrum. Now life's just kind of a rollercoaster in which I experience the love and warmth of God with the hatred and sting of Satan. I figure that this is why we have free will, and why religion is only a way to cripple mankind as a whole. If God gives us will to do whatever we want, that he expects us to experience whatever is present in and out of existence, so that we base our opinions on our own experiences, and not what others tell us. Evangelism is just a way to stunt the growth of our minds.
My name is Reverend Pope Cardinal hoppitimus poppitimus III, inquisitor of the holy office of space-time exploration and gnarly drugs. I have found the truth. The truth is that truth is truth. When I let my wang fly in the wind, I feel the air upon it. When I let my hand feel the warmth of warm things, it warms up. These things are known. But what is unknown is the unknown. Therefore what is unknown is known to us as unknown. The unknown are things that I do not know, but since we know them as unknown, we know these things as well. What we SHOULD DO is do things. If things are not done, there is no doing, and therefore you are not a human but simply a carrot. Carrots are of the DEVIL and therefore should be cast out.
Despite having microchip and megabyte we're still in Stone Age. We are all so educated and have our morals and ethics but as soon as there's some profit to get we start beating up each other with clubs. [b]...And if you're not willing, then I'll use force.”[/b]
some comment this dude posted on a forum hit me on some real levels. probably because i'm currently tripping my tits off but still. [quote]All minds emanate from One Infinite Mind which experiences itself through us. The One Infinite Mind, best as I can tell, is a spiral, a fractal composed of lesser minds, each emanating still lesser minds, ad infinitum. Mind is everything, there is nothing that is not mind. Suffering is the essence of life, it is the experience of separation from the One Infinite Mind. We create more suffering by acting out of accordance with the flow of the Greater Mind we emanate from. Enlightenment is when we fully realize this and are flowing in accord with our Greater Mind which, in turn, is flowing in accord with the still Greater Mind, ad infinitum. It is possible to end suffering; to do so is to experience the realization that the experience of separation is but an illusion. We are truly One, there is truly no separation, only the experience of it. [/quote] its awesome to think that you have this shit, and when you try to visualize it in your mind you see fractals which are essentially endless repetitions ad infinitum, and then if you apply it to real world concepts you can see it in fucking anything. levels upon levels upon.... INCEPTION i'm going to shut off my computer now
cogito ergo sum veritas vos liberabit
Abscence, normality, freedom, inquisition, friends, self image, philosophy, space, time, forboading, fear and loathing, everything. Everything is an illusion, an illusion is a word, and you are who you are, so stop being someone your not.
i think i'm most where i'm supposed to be while experiencing ego death. everything that can be derived from it is all extremely comforting to me. [editline]12th August 2012[/editline] especially the lack of self

The earlier you start this dying process, the more you will feel the sensation that you experience at the end of your life, in you every day that you live already.
i made some deep post about my past but i just deleted it people see it in my face (i make a 1000 yard stare look like a baby's happy smile as a reaction to reuniting with a parent?). i mean i just watched interviews with russell brand and i totally identify with him. besides him spouting that bullshit that in order to be right you need to be dead sober. i say an even bigger person can use without fucking everything up. but i dont think you should use drugs to chase things, not at all. it ended up showing me something great and beautiful and ideal but drugs only show you that, you can't get there with just drugs. it boils down to the great question, who am i and what is ideal to me and how do i get there. like captain rainbow belt in the watchmen or some shit.
I was sitting outside once, i seen the moon with some moving clouds. It felt like the moon was man made, put up there by people millions of years ago. the Egyptians tried to climb to it with their pyramids but failed due to lack of sandstone. Now people are building towers higher and higher until they literally reach the moon. when you get there, it will fall because its just floating there and any further weight added on will sink it therefore, screwing up everything in this world that rely's on the moon. (i dont know, im baked now and writing as i go...) The world will then go into some catastrophic meltdown and the world will end. moral of the story is, people never actually landed on the moon because if they did, they would have sunk the moon and killed us all. so basically, we shouldn't go to the moon until we find out some counterweight for it.

It's worse if aliens would make nice colony on moon, since mass of earth would not change, and mass of moon would, making it heavier. So alien colonies on moon = no no.
the moon isn't floating, it's in orbit, it has velocity. also i'm certain the mass of the object being pulled by gravity does not affect velocity. with those two forces in mind, thrust and gravity we have orbit. which is decaying slightly and yes one day the moon will crash into the earth if both are still there.
agreed, alien colonies on moon = [I]BIG[/I] no no! great thinking mate
you dont know fuck from shit do you buddy
